rugby471,

Are you sure it's wise to mark it as Fix Committed? I had the impression that it meant that the fix was applied to the working branch (bzr or whatever), not when a patch is submitted to a bug report.

Michael,

On a resolution of 1024x768, the maximum amount of icons which can fit on the desktop is approximately 36. After this, icons will begin to overlap at the top-right corner of the desktop. Additionally, as removable and mounted disks are added or removed, their placement becomes erratic. How is this an acceptable situation?

In the Places menu we have Home Folder, Desktop, Documents, Music, Pictures* and Videos - we can add the Download folder to this list.

*Just to illustrate the current lack of cohesion, the default image management application (F-Spot) doesn't even use the Pictures folder by default, it tries to save to a non-existent Photos folder...
